of Robert Burns. (See HIGHLAND MARY.)   1
   It may be added to what is said under Highland Mary that of Mary Morison the poet wrote:—   2
       
“Those smiles and glances let me see.
That make the miser’s treasure poor.”
   And in Highland Mary we have—   3
       
“Still o’er those scenes my mem’ry wakes,
And fondly broods with miser’s care.”
   A statue to her has been recently erected in Edinburgh.   4
